So we needed to get out of the house and just explore a little bit. We went to a favorite spot, the duck pond. It took a little walk around the pond and feed the ducks along the way. While walking along the path we all decided to take a trail that went back into the wooded area. We had never been back there and just wanted to see what we could find. We found a stream and in the distance you could hear rushing water. We kept on down the trail and found a huge waterfall. My sister says it's usually dried up, and I've never heard rushing water like that when I have been. So it was a way cool surprise! The kids loved it. They wanted to see how many things they could get to float down the stream but it was pretty rocky and things got stuck. We probably could have stayed all day but we had to keep moving! It was a pretty cool adventure! And then as we kept along the path we saw more ducks and then they came swimming by. A mama duck and all her babies. 12 of them actually. I've never seen a mama duck with so many. The kids kept trying to get them to come over to them but of course they wouldn't. It was a pretty fun day at the duck pond!
